Adrian Evans, 44, from Tipton, West Midlands, died along with his father, 78-year-old Patrick Evans, and nephew Joel Richards, 19, from Wednesbury.

Adrian Evans worked for Sandwell Council in Oldbury as a manager in the gas services department.

Council leader Darren Cooper said: “Adrian Evans was a very popular and long-serving employee.

“We are absolutely devastated for Adrian’s family, friends and colleagues and our thoughts are with them and all those affected by this tragedy.”

Mahoob Hussain, who worked with him, said: “I had a number of phone calls from the staff who worked for him, crying because it was his first day on holiday.

“My understanding is it was his first day – and suddenly the next thing the colleagues found out what happened in Tunisia and they were all in tears.”

Joel was a local football referee and a student at the University of Worcester.

Chad Ehlertsen, chief executive of Birmingham County Football Association, said: “He was just a leader of young people; a good organiser, a good communicator and an extremely talented young referee.”

The University of Worcester’s vice-chancellor and chief executive, Professor David Green, said: “At Worcester Joel has shown himself to be a highly intelligent, talented young man and an all-round outstanding person with a truly bright future ahead.

“Since joining the university, he has become very popular with his fellow students, team mates and with the many staff that have taught him throughout his time with us.”

Walsall FC said the men were all fans of the club and that their thoughts were with their family.

Ms Davey’s son Conor Fulford, from Tamworth in Staffordshire, posted on Twitter on Saturday night to confirm his mother’s death. He had taken to Twitter in the wake of the attack urging others to help find her.

After confirming he had been told of her death, he wrote: “Love you always Mom, I’ve got my teddy bear you got me tonight, Rest easy xxxx”

His son, Ross Naylor, from Derby, had posted appeals on Twitter following the attack.

He confirmed his father’s death in the “sickening attacks”, posting: “I want to say thanks to everyone who has helped, you have all been amazing. One love to all and rest in peace dad.”

Severn Trent Water, for which Ms Davey and Mr Chalkley worked, said: “We are immensely saddened by the news about Sue and Scott. They were much loved by their colleagues.

“Sue and Scott had a passion to help others however they could, they cared enormously for all those they worked with and were totally committed to our customers and our company.

“We will miss them deeply. Both Sue and Scott have family and friends at Severn Trent. Our thoughts are with each of them and all those that hold them dear.”

Bruce Wilkinson

Bruce Wilkinson had visited Tunisia with his wife Rita before the attack

Mr Wilkinson, 72, from Goole, East Riding, was a retired worker at Drax power station. His family said he was “a kind and compassionate man with a dry sense of humour”.

In a statement, the family said: “We are devastated at the loss of Bruce, who was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.

“Bruce was a loving family man, and in his working life worked to support the care of others.

“He was fun-loving, and will be deeply missed by friends and family alike.”

Lisa Burbidge

Ms Burbidge, in her 60s, was from Whickham, Gateshead.

Her family released a statement saying: “We are devastated with the tragic loss of the most beautiful, amazing, caring and gentle person in our lives.

“We have been left with a massive hole in our hearts.”

They added that she had “four fantastic grandchildren who were her world and will miss her tremendously”.

One of her granddaughters, Chloe Thompson, left a tribute on the Newcastle Chronicle’s Facebook page, saying: “My angel, my best friend love you always grandma, rest in peace.”

Claire Windass

Claire Windass, 54, from Hull, was on holiday with her husband when the attack happened.

In a statement, her family said: “Claire was sunbathing on the beach with her husband Jim Windass, who miraculously managed to escape physically unharmed and has now returned to his home in Hull, where he is surrounded by family and friends at this emotionally difficult time for us all.”

They added: “She was a warm, kind-hearted woman who made friends easily and was loved by everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed.”

Mrs Windass, who had two children and two step-children, lived in Scunthorpe for 35 years before moving to Hull in 2012 when she married Mr Windass.

Staff at North Lincolnshire Council, where she worked, were said to be “deeply saddened” by news of her death.

“Our thoughts are with her family at this time,” said Chris Skinner, the council’s head of communications.

“Claire worked at the council for 18 years; within the learning disability and intermediate care services.

“She was a popular and well-respected member of staff who will be greatly missed.”

Jim and Ann McQuire

Prayers have been said for Jim and Ann McQuire at their local church in Cumbernauld, Scotland

Jim and Ann McQuire are thought to have died in the shooting, a congregation at Abronhill Parish Church in Cumbernauld has been told.

The recently retired couple were heavily involved with the church, and prayers were said for them during Sunday’s service.

Mr McQuire had volunteered with the Boys’ Brigade locally. The 55th Edinburgh Boys’ Brigade and Girls’ Association has tweeted: “Really shocked to hear that Jim McQuire, BB officer with the 5th Cumbernauld and his wife Ann were killed in the Tunisia shootings. RIP.”

Mr McQuire had been due to attend a royal garden party at Edinburgh on his return from Tunisia.

His friend Andrew Eadie, who was preparing to attend the event with him, said: “I can’t make sense of it, I just can’t understand the logic of what they have done.”

Trudy Jones

Trudy Jones, 51, a care home worker from Blackwood in South Wales, has been named locally as one of those killed in the shooting.

Gwent Police said Ms Jones was a divorced single mother of four on holiday with friends.

“Our mother of all people didn’t deserve this, such a caring person who put everyone else before herself,” they said.

“Always willing to help others, she loved everyone around her including all of the people she cared for at work. She’ll be missed by so many people. She was the rock of our family and kept us all going.

“None of us have a clue how we’re going to cope without her.”

The manager of the care home where she worked as an activity co-ordinator said residents and staff were in “terrible shock”.

Shawkat Ilahi said: “She was a very popular member of the team. She was like a bottle of pop, very lively and always smiling.”

Her MP, Chris Evans, said: “The reality of this horrific and brutal attack has now been brought home to our communities with the news that Trudy Jones is among those murdered.

“My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this difficult time.”

“We managed to get the room barricaded, got down low and just hid,” he said.

His girlfriend, with a dressing on her injured chin, said she got separated from her partner and hid in the staff toilets with another woman and her son.

“We locked ourselves in and hoped for the best,” she said.

THE MISSING

People have been trying to find family and friends who may have been caught up in the attack.

John Welch and Eileen Swannack

Daniel Welch, from Swindon in Wiltshire, said his grandfather John Welch, 74, and his partner of eight years Eileen Swannack, 70, have not made contact since the attack.

Mr Welch is from Biddlestone and Ms Swannack is from Corsham, both in Wiltshire.

Daniel told the BBC: “You know that we’re going to get some sort of news at some point, whether it be today, tomorrow or the next day, and you know it’s probably not going to be great, because they haven’t been able to make contact themselves by now.”

The couple were staying at the Hotel Riu Imperial Marhaba, one of the hotels targeted by the gunman.

Angie and Ray Fisher

The couple are from Nottinghamshire.

Son Adam Fisher, from Redhill in Surrey, has not spoken to his parents since they left for their holiday.

He told the BBC he felt “powerless” over the situation.

“I’ve been in touch with the Foreign Office but they won’t give any information out… I don’t know what to do,” he said.

John and Janet Stocker

The couple are from Crawley.

Sam Stocker has launched an appeal to find his grandparents and has spoken to media outlets.
